Former Interior Secretary Zinke has published his alleged farewell letter. Everyone on this forum should feel a little better about themselves, because at least they're TRYING to improve their handwriting.

Someone in another thread thought it was written in crayon....

Looks like a white-board marker -- that had slightly dried out (that initial I looks like it started dry and then got the felt wet).

 

Ouch... even my personal scribbles have more clarity... "... the prendul and armenian people..."? :huh:

He needs an XF nib.

I can also imagine that when he handed this over he would have to let others know what this note was all about. Do we know if he wrote with a marker because he couldn’t see well? But then again he didn’t adjust the size of the letters accordingly.

Thank you for filling me in Freddy.

 

Mr. Zinke should accompany his written notes with recordings of what he writes. I stopped trying to read at the middle of the second line.

Ok... Is there an award for this level of cacography? I can usually pick apart even doctor scrawl but this? We need to break out an enigma machine and fimd the folks who cracked the zodiac letters o.O

I really like Mr Zinke's handwriting.

 

It makes me feel better about my own. :D

 

I can appreciate that it was written with a broad...something or another, but there's no reason not to upscale the writing a bit to compensate.

 

Much of that note is just an assortment of pageworms, just wriggling around on the paper.

Arguing with people on the Internet is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon will just knock the pieces over, s**t on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The dude needs an extra fine nib. Dunno about you but I take comfort in those words. It's good knowing he's got plenty of time to work on that handwriting now..

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
